Author Name my module (Metaweb)
Hayden Stainsby

2007-08-21, 6:58 pm

I have written a module to access a Metaweb database instance via it's
HTTP/JSON API.

Metaweb is a type of database based around colaborative linked data.
The best (and only) example currently is Freebae (www.freebase.com).
The module I've written allows access to a Metaweb instance via it's
own API (queries and results are in Javascript Object Notation - JSON)
and sent as HTTP GET requests to a server.

I would like suggestions on what to call it. I'm looking at
HTTP::Metaweb at the moment, but I've thought about the move scary
root namespace option, as it's likely a lot of other modules will crop
up doing pretty things with Metaweb once Freebase gets out of alpha.

I'm open to all suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
